The message is a manly, calm and conclu • sive defence of the Executive preroga tive ag:iinst the tyrannical usurpations , of the House. ,loes not shrink from any legitimate • investig,ation into his official conduct; but wityihe proud consciousness of in honest triatt courts and defies it. It is scarcely possible there is an honest and intelligent'man it the whole country who, does not believe - that this smelling „cam inittee -vas appointed - from a malicious specious motive,. to gratify a Paairan or personal gruge against the Presicient.— The whole history .. 47f the infamous pro ceeding, both in the House and in Commit si tee shows this. Many of the witnesses were summoned because they Were knOn-n to be bitter, enemies of the President, but the Report shows that even this class of .witnesses could trump up nothing that the President does pot explain in half--a dozen lines. We ask for the message an attentive perusal.- 'NEW SI7R.3OIIBERS.-KEEP TILE BALL - liot.uso.-- ; Nearly fifty names were re , mntly 0(10 to the subscription list of the.
